I got fed up paying £50 for a set of sprue cutters and so replaced my old Meng single blade with Stedi MS-108s. Compared them to Godshands and couldn’t tell the difference.
Half the price and every bit as good.

If yours are as good as Godhands, Zoukei-Muras are better.

I’ve no doubt about it, but the ones I have do the exact same job and cost half as much. Hence, I don’t care if they wear quicker or get damaged.
They say you only get what you pay for, but I used to get the most expensive tools I could afford all the time - for some things, experience has taught me that is the truly false economy.

In my opinion, here’s a nice diagram that helps with getting the most out of a high quality set of nippers.
The two nip procedure. Step 3 is helpful with many types of nippers.

Godhands are too clunky to get into many tight spaces.

I agree, the sharp nose on the Zoukei-Muras rocks in many tight areas where my GH’s proved too clunky. However, the GH’s are sometimes easier to manipulate in some tight spaces due to being smaller.
Ideally, a pair of each!

Added to the nipper collection, these arrived today via Amazon. Cuts as well as best nippers like GodHand, DSPIAE-Meng etc I’ve used.
P.I.T. also proved the excellent guide on how to use nippers in their Amazon add posted above.

I dropped my God damneds and they landed tip first, of course and one of the cutting tips bent…
Bought a PIT cutter and I have to say I’m pretty impressed for the price, so much so I ordered a back up pair.
Over the weekend I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of the ZMs from MTSC.
They’ll be here this week.

GodHand sprue cutters,
typed in what I presume to be a fit of extreme irritation.

When I drop my sprue cutters and they land tip down there will be a mark in the floor …
I use these excellent El Cheapo cutters:
Plato Model 170, I think I bought a pack of five for a lower price a few years ago.
One of them has the print of ‘PLATO’ smudged a bit.
The one I am using has got some dents in the cutting edge so it may be time for the Dremel and the cutting wheel to grind new edges. When new they can cut hairs when the cutting edges are properly adjusted. Works for hard toenails as well …

You mean you don’t use the scissors from the kitchen draw - how odd.
